This is card/driver specific issue, I guess. I don't have such a problem
with ipw2100. I thus won't add a global dhcdbd restart hook to pm-utils.

My advice would be, that you create a hook for your local machine and
place it into /etc/pm/sleep.d

I could ship such a hook under /usr/share/doc/pm-utils/examples and
document this issue in README.Debian though.

Cheers,
Michael
